Thank you for the refence post. Great to see this issue (or should I say non-issue) has been addressed.

Any thoughts about offering (the option of) a black PVD crown? Should go well with the black bezel, even more so if matched with a black face or strap.

I guess I might be more fussy!

I've only owned two watches powered by the Miyota 8215, one was the Magrette with the second hand which was immediately flipped once Dion announced the Moana Pacific PVD (with the same Miyota 8215, but no second hand). I've since flipped my Moana Pacific PVD as well, but only because it wasn't getting enough wrist time. I did notice a jitter at times; it definitely wasn't very frequent, but it was enough to annoy me.

The rotor noise of the Miyotas (old and new) I can also hear, but that doesn't really bother me either. At times I can even hear my ETA 2824-2's rotor rotating or the 'ticking' of the escapement in my ETA 6498-1 when I'm working in a quiet lab or office.

I could hear the rotor in my eta Ocean7. Ticking is nice though, I like it.

I decided to go with the Miyota and use the saved $200 to fix my scratched PVD bezel on my B&R Commando :). Figured since the Olivier will be part of my work watch rotation, Miyota should suffice.

I went with Miyota also (#38). Save some money and add a different movement to my collection.

Hey Everyone!

I've just landed 9 hours into the future, going to be visiting with some of the manufacturers! Please forgive me if over the next 4 days my responses are a tad slow. Going to talk in depth about bronze alloys too!
